Squid Game is back! The second season of the global sensation picks up three years after Gi-hun won the games. When we encounter him in the first episode, he is a sullen recluse who has dedicated his life to finding the people responsible and putting an end to their vicious sport once and for all. In this Goggler exclusive we sat down with Lee Jung-jae about his character Gi-hun and Lee Seo-hwan about reuniting with Jung-jae after working together in Deliver Us from Evil.

Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.
